Seven weeks of distribution were enough for the film Muzika to become
the most seen Slovak film in the Slovak cinemas after 2000. At present,
after ten weeks of being screened in the cinemas, the film’s audience
rating is 30,029 people. In April and May, Muzika was the 3rd most seen film in the Slovak cinemas; in April it followed Step Up 2 and Horton films, and in May it followed Step Up 2 and Indiana Jones films. It is noteworthy that all other American blockbusters such as Iron Man, Speed Racer, or dependent films of lower quality such as The Bucket List, and all new Czech films such as Vaclav, O zivot, Nejkrajsi hadanka, O rodicich a detech, Na vlastni nebezpeci did not even approach the audience rating of Muzika – their rating ranges from 15 % to 60 % of that of MUZIKA. In May, the Slovak Film and TV Academy (SFTA) nominated MUZIKA for the European Film Academy Awards.In a short time, a contract with BAVARIA Media should be signed concerning the license for the worldwide distribution of the film. It is the first Slovak film after 1989 to be distributed by one of the largest German and European distribution companies. |

09/04 The film producers won both main prizes of the oldest Slovak
Film Awards – IGRIC – concerning full-length feature films designed for
distribution into movie theaters: the actor Lubos Kostelny was awarded
“for a matured actor performance and for giving a true picture of the
protagonist in playing the part of the principal character” (character
of Martin Junec), and the director Juraj Nvota was awarded for “an
authentic testimony of the period that has affected us and left
indelible traces on our lives”. The film Muzika was not nominated
for the Slovak Film Critics Award, because it did not meet distribution
criteria required by the award organizers. The first public screening in Tatra movie theater on 03/04/2008 was sold out. The film Muzika opened the Slovak section of the Febiofest 2008 festival on 31/03. |
